THE ability of Dr Olusegun Mimiko, the governor of Ondo State, to handle his mandate with the fear of God has been given as oneof the reasons he would be re-elected to rule the state for another four years.
The state Commissioner for Information, Mr Kayode Akinmade, while speaking in Akure, on Monday, said nothing would stop the re-election of Mimiko because he had been able to handle the mandate given to him with the fear of God and hence been able to earn the people's confidence and trust.
Akinmade said Mimiko ensured that he fulfilled his electoral promises which had earned him the confidence of the people of the state.
He said: "That Governor Mimiko will triumph at the October 20th gubernatorial election is not in doubt because he has handled themandate given to him by the people with the fear of God.
"It is obvious that the state has never had it this good under any previous government in the state. He told the people he was going to work for them and even the blind can see the enormous work he has done.
"That is why we are confident that the people would not betray him because he did not betray them."
Akinmade said the government had been able to touch every family in the state one way or the other, especially in the area ofhealth, education, tourism, and the provision of employment.
"This is the only government that has done something for the people of the state in the area of provision of shelter in the last 28years.
"The rate of unemployment of the youths has reduced drastically with the creation of Ore Agricultural Farm Village which has takena good number of our unemployed youths off the street.
"The government's Abiye programme has fetched the state a place on the world scene with the World Bank making its health initiative a benchmark for Africa"
The commissioner, who said Ondo State is the most peaceful in the country, further informed that for the first time in the history of the state, school pupils and secondary school students went to school and returned home at no cost.
